Audit and review of the financial statements

Our audit procedures are in line with Polish and international auditing standards. At the initial stage of the audit, we focus primarily on understanding the business and the specific characteristics of the industry of our clients in order to properly identify risks and plan audit procedures. An important area verified by our specialists is the internal control system functioning in the auditing entity. This study allows to identify weaknesses of the system so that internal procedures and processes can be improved.

We conduct the survey using both random and full methods. Its selection results from the need to obtain reasonable assurance that no significant issue that may have an impact on the shape of the audited financial statement, have been omitted.

At the same time, we undertake that we treat all materials and information obtained during the study with the utmost confidentiality and to keep them completely secret from third parties.

Restatement of financial statements (IAS/IFRS)

The preparation of the company's financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards differs significantly from the statements prepared on the basis of the Polish provisions of the Accounting Act. The KPW team has extensive experience in supporting individuals in the above mentioned process

When preparing the opening balance sheet - as the starting point for accounting in accordance with IFRSs, the entity:

  • recognizes all assets and liabilities required to be recognized under IFRSs;
  • does not recognize items as assets or liabilities if recognition is not permitted by IFRSs;
  • reclassifies items included in specific classes of assets, liabilities or equity in accordance with previous GAAP that are a different type of asset, liability or equity under IFRSs;
  • applies IFRS in the measurement of all recognized assets and liabilities.

Adaptation of the accounting principles according to the Accounting Act to the requirements of IFRS requires a number of changes in the methods of measuring individual assets and liabilities and the manner of presentation of financial data. The transition to IFRSs may require an entity to change its existing accounting policies for measurement and recognition. Their effects are recognized as adjustments of the previous years’ result or, if appropriate, in other items of equity.

A complete IFRS financial statements always consist of at least:

  • statement of financial position at the end of the period;
  • statement of comprehensive income for a given period;
  • statement of changes in equity for the period;
  • statement of cash flows for the period;
  • additional information on the adopted accounting principles (policy) and other explanatory information.
